2018 Stamford 30k
Race No
5th MV50
25th edition of this event.
Intentionally slower race today, with a shift in my long distance training i.e. keeping the longer ones slower.
I do appear to be way behind where I was this time last year but I'm still not that worried. Today was about training. Its was cold but the wind was quite harsh at times.

Very much a race of two halves as they would say. First lap cold bt as we started the second lap the snow started and it became very cold and bleak. Now, I've run Folksworth in some pretty grim conditions before but I can say the second lap here mus almost have been the worst.
It was never a race to see how fast I could run but as with previous years a training run at marathon pace - I managed just that.

2017 Great Eastern Run
Race No. -
Just two weeks after a marathon and one week after a half I find myself working hard for my 1:24:55; Although last weeks half was not full-on it was still two and a quarter hours on my feet - the week after a marathon. I think that was a great result.

Race No.
Second race run with Lauren, and just a week after a marathon, it might have been slower than I would normally run (nearly 4 m/mile) , but it was still two and a quarter hours on my feet and I was really tired at the end; added to which we had to travel home.
And.... a parkrun pb for Lauren the day before!

A PB for Lauren, although she will insist on racing the first mile too fast - way too fast. She'll learn, maybe.

Well, just slightly over intended marathon pace but with over 14 weeks to go that was a good run. Difficult one to come on Wednesday.

And a suffer score of 114 and 19 in the red - that'll be for the hills since we didn't need too much threshold running.

3 Counties Cross Country - Bedford
Wasn't going to do any cross country races this season but having been asked I found no reason to say no. This is a particularly tough course and is much longer than the usual races. It's was the last one of this season and the first to be held at Sharnbrook Upper School.
Main issue for me was lack of racing - it seems that I've forgotten how to race. It was a hard course, some hills but the rutted tracks and paths, along with significant amounts of bad weather made the going difficult; same for everyone though.
First three miles my lungs were at bursting point but after that it seemed to get better - tried to push on but there was nothing more to give today.
61st place - can't ever remember being that far back. Never mind, there's always another time and that's one race more to being race-fit.
Todays suffer score - 111 with 43 points in the red.
